Have you ever met someone that was in love with Jesus but didn't attend Church? Why do we need Church? I am sure this has been a question that people have struggled and disagreed on for years plus.
As God's children we are called to worship Him. Our church home is a place where we can step out of our everyday distractions. The material lifestyles we can easily become accustom to. A place where we wrestle with who God is? What He is like? To be part of the body of Christ.
Worship shapes us. It helps us enter into the presence of God. Sometimes when all we do is worship alone we can make Him into less, or the image we want Him to be. Rather than all that He is. He is faithful to ALL generations. And to know Him you must know He is a God of His people. As His people we are in a community of faith. We are learning in our worship to grow into His will. God is growing us for Him. For His purpose.
This doesn't mean that we cannot worship outside the walls of the church. It is actually just the opposite. God is active and present in His creation. He is there to restore His world.
God gives us the eyes to go back out into the world and see what He is doing. He calls us to take our worship out into the streets. To sing, to give of ourselves, offering, sharing the gospel, etc.
To bless God in all that we do.
Scripture: Psalms 100
